Joshua 18:19

19 and it passeth forth against the north to Bethhoglah; and the outgoings thereof be against the arm of the saltiest sea, from the north, and the end of (the) Jordan is at the south coast, (and it passeth forth toward the north to Bethhoglah; and its end, or its limit, is at the northern arm of the Dead Sea, at the southern end of the Jordan River; this is the southern border;)

Joshua 18:19 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 18:19

And the border passed along to the side of Bethhoglah
northward
Inclining somewhat toward the north, but not leaving the city to the north, for it is included in the lot of Benjamin, ( Joshua 18:21 ) ; of which place see ( Joshua 15:6 ) ;

and the outgoings of the border were at the north bay of the salt
sea;
here ended the southern border of Benjamin, even at the bay or creek of the salt sea, which looked northward, as the southern border of Judah began at that bay of it, which looked southward, ( Joshua 15:2 ) ;

at the south end of Jordan;
where it fell into the salt sea:

this [was] the south coast;
as before described.

Joshua 18:19 In-Context

17 and it passeth to the north, and it goeth out to Enshemesh, that is, the well of the sun, and it passeth unto the little hills that be against the going up of Adummim (and it passeth by Geliloth, that faceth the ascent of Adummim); and it goeth down to Even Bohan, that is, the stone of Bohan, (that was named for) the son of Reuben,
18 and passed by the side of the north to the field places; and it goeth down into the plain, (and passed by the north side of the Arabah; and then it goeth down into the Arabah,)
19 and it passeth forth against the north to Bethhoglah; and the outgoings thereof be against the arm of the saltiest sea, from the north, and the end of (the) Jordan is at the south coast, (and it passeth forth toward the north to Bethhoglah; and its end, or its limit, is at the northern arm of the Dead Sea, at the southern end of the Jordan River; this is the southern border;)
20 which is the term thereof from the east (the Jordan River is its eastern border). This is the possession of the sons of Benjamin, by their terms in compass, and by their families;
21 and the cities thereof were Jericho and Bethhoglah, and the valley of Keziz (and Emekkeziz),
